Medicare is Australia’s health care system:

Medicare helps cover the cost of a range of medical services. 

1. How Medicare works 

We provide payments and services that can help when you, or someone you care for, use health care services or buy medicines. 

If you’re eligible, Medicare helps cover the cost of a range of medical services: 

· free or cheaper treatment by doctors, specialists, optometrists, and in some cases dentists and health practitioners 

· low cost medicine 

· free treatment and accommodation in a public hospital 

2. How to enrol in Medicare 

People over the age of 15 can visit a service centre to enrol. 

You’ll need to bring some information with you including current passports, travel documents, ImmiCard, valid visa or original letter and your bank account details. We can only pay Medicare benefits into an Australian bank account. 

If you’re eligible, we’ll give you a Medicare number to use straight away. We’ll send your Medicare card to you in 3 to 4 weeks. 

3. Medicare card

You need a valid Medicare card to claim Medicare benefits, visit a doctor who bulk bills, be treated as a public patient in a public hospital, or to get a Pharmaceutical Benefit Scheme prescription filled. Your Medicare card can also help if you’re a private patient being treated in a public or private hospital. 

A maximum of two cards can be issued per family. If you’re 15 or older, you can get your own Medicare card. 

If your Medicare card is lost or stolen, you can easily request a new one using your Medicare online account or the Express Plus Medicare mobile app. 

4. Reciprocal Health Care Agreements 

Medicare doesn’t cover treatment when you go overseas. However, the Australian Government has signed Reciprocal Health Care Agreements (RHCA) with some countries to cover Australians for the cost of essential medical treatment while they’re visiting those countries. 

Visitors from those countries may also be entitled to some health services and cheaper medicines when they’re in Australia. 

Register your bank account details with us so your Medicare benefits can be paid directly into your nominated bank account. 

5. Register your bank account details: 

· using your Medicare online account through myGov 

· using the Express Plus Medicare mobile app. 

You need to: 

· have your Medicare card and bank account details–BSB, account number and account name–with you when you register 

· let us know if your details change.

6. Claiming 

You can make claims for anyone listed on your Medicare card. You can also claim for someone on another Medicare card, if you’ve paid for the service. 

You can submit a claim: 

· at the doctor’s if they offer electronic claiming 

· using your Medicare online account through myGov 

· using the Express Plus Medicare mobile app. 

7. Medicare self service 

It’s easy to do business with us anytime and anywhere. You can do most things quickly and easily without needing to call or visit us. 

Using your Medicare online account and Express Plus Medicare mobile app you can make a claim, update your personal and bank details, request a replacement or duplicate  Medicare card, view immunisation statements and much more.
